Sweet & Salty Frito Snack Mix


Ingredients:

1 bag (10.5 oz) Fritos corn chips
2 cups Rice Chex cereal
2 cups mini pretzel twits
1.5 cups nuts (Aunt Debbie uses a tin of mixed nuts)
1 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
0.5 cup light corn syrup
1 cup mini M&M's

Instructions:
  1. In a large bowl, mix together Fritos,, Chex, pretzels, and nuts.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat melt the butter with the sugar and corn syrup, stirring to help it along.  Bring it to a boil and boil for 4 minutes without stirring.  Remove from heat.
  3. Pour the butter mixture over the top of the Fritos mixture and toss to coat.
  4. Place into a large roasting pan (or aluminum pan for easy clean up) and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and stir.  Bake for 8 more minutes.
  6. Pour contents of the roasting pan onto a parchment paper or wax paper-lined countertop and let cool.
  7. Break into smaller pieces and then sprinkle with M&M's.  Store in an airtight container.  Keeps for about a week.
